[amsat-bb] Field Day 2008 Totals

[Bruce]

Field Day 2008 is over and I have just completed compiling the scores 
and writing the article.

The results will be published in the next AMSAT Journal (not the 
May/June that is printing now) with some really nice photos that were 
sent in. At the same time, I will post the results through ANS.

This year, we had  8 satellites used. There was even one QSO on AO-16. A 
total of 120 QSO's were reported and we had 17 stations submit scores. 
The most contacts were done on VO-52 this year. Behind that was AO-7.

Here are some stats from previous years.

            2005   2006   2007   2008
Satellites    8      7      5      8
QSO's       120    258    207    220
Stations     11     21     13     17
